    I have enlisted and wrote many topics on various science forums on the internet! I do read all the topics of the forums under various categories, and it seems to me that many of you are all just stupid science ruffians. Doesn't even know how to write physics vectors, neither biology nor chemistry topics are any sane! Its looks like you people come from scam science publications, your teachers were a big rut! No one can even give a reply to such weird rotten thoughts!

    In the movie classic 'schindlers' list' there is shown portrayal of nazi camps of jews! But in that movie there are no germans! Germans are white pink skin foreigner race people living only in germany. In the movie whereas the jews part is played by south africans and the german nazis part is played by american cast. The jews saga started when the czars took to crucifying them in death camps. This ideology was then adopted by later waring nations like german hitler in world wars. How ironically true!

    I remember reading a book as an eight year-old boy in Scotland which praised the honesty of the man that eventually led America and whose morals prevailed during a vicious Civil War. I was impressed. As a middle-aged man, I came across the idea that everything I thought I knew about this man could have been a myth. I present below 2 accounts about Lincoln; one which is unashamedly sycophantic, and the other is more cynical. Perhaps the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Any comments? Link Sycophantic Link

    In another topic several members were moaning about what a waste of money buying a valentines card would be. I haven't been able to find that topic. If a moderator wants to add this to that topic that would be fine by me. I see in today's press that Asda, a subsidiary of Walmart, is selling a Valentine's card for 7p.( about 11 cents). Come on lads, surely a smile from your beloved would be worth that amount? Think of the pleasure such a gesture would give her. I don't think I'll try it with my wife however - she would probably hit me with something hard and metallic from the kitchen! What do the girls on the forum think, I wonder? Would an 11c card be better than no …

    I am very proud of my daughter Helen. She is in her late 40's and has been working through the Open University toward gaining academic qualifications. She has only a dissertation to complete in order to get her Master's Degree in English Literature. In her spare time she has written a novel which she describes as an easy read, rather dark, mystery thriller. I have downloaded it but not yet had time to read more than a few chapters. If you have a Kindle, or download books on your computer, and like this type of book it's title is "Hollywell" and the author is Helen Peden. It's available to download through Amazon. It costs only $3.05 to download. As her father, you wou…

    Even as we push the envelope on space travel and plunge into the St Andreas Fault seeking an alien trinity: Science, God and the Devil; we cringe at the slightest unknown mystery here on earth. So, just what is our problem? Not planning to have, or attend a New Years Eve gala last evening, 12/31/2011, it seemed like a good chance to watch some TV. So, after the six o’clock news I turned on the history channel. First, some nerdy but seemingly intelligent folks were out in the woods hunting down “Big Foot”, or (Sasquatch) if you will. How long has this series kept us spellbound? Whoopee! Next a bunch of very distinguished speaking braineiacs were “theorizing” their f…

    There seems to be quite a delay between changing your photo or Avatar and the time it takes for them to take effect. In particular the two places the photo appears in can be separated by some days. How long should you wait before deciding something has gone wrong? Should you remove a photo or Avatar that "hasn't taken" after a certain period and try again?

  15. Does anyone else think of this when they tell someone to label their axes? (Yes, I realise I didn't bother with units, scale, or a title.) Or do you have any other weird associations with common phrases?

    Hello there, my name is Rich. I'm am a 32 year old individual who, probably like the remaining 99% of you, is not looking for a job. I currently live with my parents because that's what individuals my age are supposed to do. Just to let you know, right off the bat...I am a nice guy, because I can become quite cynical and acerbic (chem nerds, stay away from that one ). I have a Bachelors Degree in Electrical Engineering, although I wasn't quite sure if I was supposed to capitalize all of that. After 7 and a half years, I still have not utilized my degree because I didn't want to become a stereotype. Though I still like Koss. Yes, I can be a nerd if I solemnly …

    I'm interested in other people's diets if willing to share. For example, what foods you stay away from/gravitate towards for health reasons. Do you only buy organic food? Do you eat grains? Do you stay away from gluten? Do you stay away from dairy, even if it's organic? Do you use sugar? Use salt? Are you a vegetarian? Pescetarian? Do you drink only purified water? Do you drink alcohol? Do you eat 3 times a day? Do you consume the recommended amount of water?

    I've always been a loser but I've never realized it until a few years ago. Never was good with people, and until very late in life I thought the only way to make friends and please people was to do and be everything they wanted us to. I shaped my personality on that of those I wanted to be friends with. I wasn't myself. So I was bullied, beaten, mocked, taken advantage of and such. Then there were the parental units. Work took them away a lot, and the little time we spent together was them saying constantly I behaved like a lunatic and if I didn't behave properly I was to be commited to an institution. What a great thing to say to a child, right? My whole family, t…

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Counterfeiting_Trade_Agreement We can't let ACTA succeed. It's an even bigger threat than SOPA and PIPA. Why? Because it's trying to make it's way into a global scale. With ACTA in place all non-profit fanworks and other such user created content will be deleted. Don't let them destroy the internet like this. We have our rights and freedoms, they can't take those away from us.
